I found an incredibly annoying problem with the `emacs-wiki-refresh-file-alist' routine. Apparently, the cons function does not accept a string as a second parameter. This is a very odd thing since doing an eval on something like (cons "str1" "str2") gives a valid cons cell without complaining.

So I had to change the core cons cell of (name . path) to the 2-element list (name path). This meant that a lot of routines needed to be changed to use cadr instead of cdr, for example. I even made use of the exotic cadar function once. Yay.

Please test this version since I do not know if it will work on other versions / versions of Emacs. Once I receive enough reports (or a lack of them) indicating trouble, I'll release emacs-wiki 2.62 .
